McNair In, Titans Out

Now that the NFL arbitrator has ruled in the case of Steve McNair v. Tennessee Titans and has said that as long as Steve McNair is under contract with the Titans, they have to allow him to use the team’s workout facility in the offseason, one wonders how long McNair will be on the payroll. […]

Carolina Reinforces Secondary

Carolina’s secondary was decimated this offseason with key departures in the linebacking core. But in a matter of a week, two veterans and last years 1st round draft pick, Thomas Davis, will reinforce the faltering secondary.
Last week, Carolina signed Keith Adams, a former Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker and today, they signed former Green Bay Linebacker […]

All mock drafts are officially screwed

After a bit of negotiating the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos have agreed on a trade that will send a second first round draft pick to the 49ers in exchange for 2 later picks.
This move makes the 72,481 mock drafts done thus far wrong. And yes, this is one of the reasons why […]

3Com May be Dead but the Niners Legacy Lives On

While the Cardinals busily finish their new home, it’s with a mix of sadness and joy that I find out that San Francisco is busily seeking an architect for a new stadium to retire the venerable Candlestick-turned-3Com Park.

3Com was, of course, where the greatest players in the game - Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, […]

Holy crap

The Arizona Cardinals have revealed their brand new stadium.
The $50 million project is just about finished, and we can finally see their work.
Architect Peter Eisenmann, whose projects include the Holocaust museum in Berlin, designed the stadium that will give the Cardinals their first true home since the franchise moved from St. Louis in 1988.
The […]

Why the Ravens might Draft a Nickel Back

The Nickel Back is the special position that constitutes a Linebacker that is brought in for a defensive “nickel” package.  A nickel package is a defensive formation that brings in five defensive backs.  They are excellent for pass plays which require more men downfield.

The Baltimore Ravens have had the world’s most famous nickelback, Deion Sanders, […]

What will the Lions look like this year?

An interesting story ran on FOX Sports earlier. The writer went into a bit of detail describing the difference that Mike Martz is starting to make with the Lions.
His style of coaching, his attention to detail, and his knowledge of the game are amazing, and he’s passing all that along to the players. After […]

Patriots guarantee that for a few years they will have a good player on their defensive line and a good quarterback

I couldn’t help but laugh a bit earlier when I read an article discussing the Patriots locking up Willie McGinest for a few more years.
I can’t remember the exact wording, but it was something to the effect of “Patriots secure elitism until 2010 with resigning of McGinest”.
For starters, the longer a contract is, […]

Chicago taking it slowly with Lovie Smith

The Chicago media has slowly swung its focus away from the draft, and onto more controversial stuff. A story went out recently, full of outrage at the fact that the Chicago Bears are taking their time extending Lovie Smith’s contract. Apparently they’d rather throw caution into the wind than have the team take their time […]

Steelers working to extend Cowher

The Steelers have had a surprisingly quiet role in free agency this year. In fact, off the top of my head I can’t think of a single person they’ve signed. I’m not sure they even have signed anyone, though I’m sure they have.
That doesn’t, however, rule out the fact that they might have done […]
